Video

Video is a powerful tool in communicating and telling the UC Master Gardener Program story, fulfilling our mission to extend research-based gardening information to the public. Video is great at relaying instructional content, making an emotional connection, and sharing on social media. The UC Master Gardener Program and UC ANR have developed resources on how to create "How-To" videos. A library of video resources has been developed for cohesive video branding.
